Chapter 476: Story
Haruno Sakura's words made Rogue Ninja Sasuke lose a lot of momentum.
However, Sakura did not pursue him relentlessly, saving him some face.
Kakashi, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed something.
"So..." He rubbed his chin, frowned and said to Haruno Sakura, "The ones fighting here just now were you guys and Madara Uchiha?"
"Also, what does the so-called 'another world' mean? Who exactly are you?"
Haruno Sakura and Konoha Sasuke looked at each other. The latter sighed and said, "We'll answer these questions later, Kakashi-sensei."
He turned his head to look at the other Sasuke: "Sasuke of this world, me here... I have some words I want to say to you."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke snorted disdainfully. Having just been despised by Haruno Sakura, and now the other Sasuke who had just defeated him came to speak, he felt a little irritable.
"Even you want to lecture me?"
"Among everyone, the thing I hate the most is hearing you pointing fingers at me!"
Harsh words did not discourage Konoha Sasuke.
Actually, he wasn't good at preaching either, but when the other party was himself from another world, he naturally knew how to speak.
Because he understood him best.
The person who understands oneself best is ultimately oneself.
"Not preaching, pointing fingers, or blaming you or anything..." He lowered his eyelids halfway and said silently.
"Because I don't know what you have been through, nor what you have learned... but after all, I am you from another world. The most painful things you have experienced also repeatedly haunt my nightmares."
"So I will definitely be the person who truly understands you."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke did not refute.
Nor did impatient eyes flicker.
"We are just the same person walking on different paths... Maybe you are right, maybe I am right, or maybe we are both wrong. I don't care." Sasuke said calmly, "What I care about is the truth, the clan and the village, and those precious and beautiful things..."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke's expression moved, and he said slowly: "Even if your life still has beauty... my life only has revenge left."
"Maybe so." Konoha Sasuke smiled faintly and said, "But I don't think revenge is the last thing and the only thing you have to do in your life."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke remained silent.
"We all have our own chosen paths to walk down. I only hope that when you walk on your own path, be a little more cautious, think a little more..."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke snorted: "In the end, you are still just preaching."
Konoha Sasuke did not deny it. He continued: "I will only say this one sentence, just listen. Finally, giving you a piece of advice."
"...What?"
"Don't die... live well."
Rogue Ninja Sasuke sneered, ignored him, just turned around and nodded to Obito.
It was hard to say how much of Konoha Sasuke's words he listened to.
Haruno Sakura optimistically estimated that since Konoha Sasuke defeated him after all, he would listen to some of Konoha Sasuke's words more or less.
No matter what, these words would plant a seed in his mind, waiting for the right time to take root and sprout.
"Very touching conversation." Obito smiled with deep irony, putting his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, "Then, we should go."
Naruto had finished what he had to say and stood quietly aside. The two groups watched silently as Obito and the other two left.
The atmosphere was strangely silent for a few seconds.
Then Naruto seemed to suddenly wake up—
"Sasuke!" He shouted, rushed over in a few strides, and leaned in front of Haruno Sakura and Sasuke, "You are also Sasuke?!"
Seeing a second Sasuke with his own eyes made him feel surprised and somewhat excited.
"And Sakura!" He walked around Sasuke and came to the girl's side, praising, "You are even cuter than Sakura!"
Haruno Sakura's mouth twitched, unsurprisingly seeing him being rewarded with a fierce chestnut knock by Sakura who rushed over.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The girl said angrily, "Also, don't look at others with such impolite eyes!"
Haruno Sakura glanced at Sasuke's expression. The latter's eyes were a bit straight: Sakura's violent girl image was accidentally exposed in front of Sasuke.
Where is the promised gentleness and amiability?
"Sorry," Naruto scratched the back of his head, blinked, looked at the two and said, "You are Sakura and Sasuke from another world? What does another world mean?"
"Another world..." Sakura pondered for a while and said, "It is said that every world has many so-called 'parallel worlds' similar to it. Is such a thing actually true?"
Naruto listened completely confused on the side. Sakura spent a lot of words before he ignorantly expressed that he understood.
"Anyway, that's roughly what it is." Haruno Sakura concluded from the side. She stepped forward and met herself of this world face to face.
The two looked at each other.
Almost the same face, the same figure.
Looking like this, it felt like a wonderful feeling of looking in a mirror.
However, observing carefully, one could discover many differences between the two.
—In Naruto's words, Haruno Sakura was prettier.
Her relationship with the Sakura of this world was much more distant than the relationship between the two Sasukes; it could even be said that the two Sakuras were basically just two people who looked very alike.
After all, she had undergone huge changes from soul to body.
"Ne, hello... Sakura of this world." She said with a smile, extending her hand, "Nice to meet you, I am... Haruno Sakura from another world."
Listening to the girl's slightly awkward self-introduction, everyone laughed lightly.
"Hello to you too." Sakura smiled shyly and shook hands with Haruno Sakura.
The palm without calluses felt warm, soft, delicate, and excellent to the touch.
Just a pure medical ninja? No... traces of using Monstrous Strength. Strength should be pretty good.
Haruno Sakura raised her eyebrows.
With a bit of nervousness and shyness, Sakura greeted Sasuke again, and then Kakashi also walked over.
"Hello, Sakura and Sasuke from another world." Kakashi said solemnly to the two, "I have some questions to ask you..."
He also suspected the identities of the two in his heart.
However, the genuine Mangekyo Sharingan in Sasuke's eye sockets dispelled his doubts—currently, only three people in the world possessed the Sharingan. Kakashi himself, Obito who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, and the chunibyo boy Sasuke, all appeared just now. Konoha Sasuke was obviously not any of the three.
Haruno Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other. Sakura answered forthrightly: "Just ask, we have nothing particularly confidential... we will say everything we know."
She smiled and added: "However, relatively, we also have many questions to ask you."
Kakashi nodded without hesitation: "Intelligence exchange? No problem."
"Let me ask first." The white-haired young man said solemnly.
He was about to speak when Naruto rushed over fiercely: "Let me ask the first question!"
"In your world, Sasuke, you didn't defect, right?"
"I want to hear your story!"
Haruno Sakura pondered slightly and said: "This is actually just a very normal and ordinary ninja career story..."
"That's right, graduated from the Ninja Academy, entered Team 7, then the Chunin Exams ended, we each promoted to Chunin, Team 7 disbanded, then I was accepted as a disciple by Kakashi-sensei. There were no special stories afterward, just normal ninja missions and promotions."
Sasuke took over the conversation and said briefly.
"My story is similar..." Haruno Sakura laughed, "Also promoted slowly from Genin, accepted as a disciple by Tsunade-shishou during the period, did some missions, fought some enemies, and finally promoted to Jonin."
"Nothing special."
